Product Description
Product Description
English language teaching materials (textbooks) play a very important role in many language classrooms, but recently there have been a lot of debate throughout the English language teaching profession based on the actual role of materials used for teaching English as a foreign language. Arguments have encompassed both the potential and the limitations of materials used for ¿guiding¿ students through the learning processes and curriculum as well as the needs and preferences of teachers who are using the textbooks that are available. Other issues that have arisen in recent years include textbook design and practicality, methodological validity, the role of textbooks in innovation, the authenticity of materials in terms of their representation of language, communicative textbooks, and balance in presenting the language skills as well as cultural components. The purpose of this book is to report the findings on a study carried out in 2006 into how Iranian textbooks could be made more communicative. The textbooks referred to are three English language textbooks which are currently used in Iranian Secondary Schools. www.dahmardeh.com
